Subject: What are some gripes and anticipations you have concerning Halo 4?

This may not be the forum to post this thread, but I don't care. The Halo 4 forum at halo.xbox.com is aesthetically displeasing.

Anticipations:
1. Master Chief.

2. Cortana going insane.

3. Campaign that will expand more on the Halo universe.

4. The eradication of armour lock.

5. Balanced armour abilities.

6. Spartan Ops.

7. The entire Halo community back together like one big dysfunctional family.

8. Multiplayer maps tailor made for multiplayer and not ripped from campaign like in CoD or Halo: Reach.

9. Improved network coding.

Gripes:
Pretty minor, but intolerable nonetheless.

1. Ergonomics and aesthetics of the sniper look terrible. It looks like it's extremely difficult to use (this is only based off of little pieces of game play) and the arcs around the reticle are unnecessary.

2. The hole under the scope of the battle riffle is goofy looking.

3. Some of the helmet armour permutations are also goofy looking.

4. Sound effects for the needler and sniper rifle are disgusting.

5. The jerrycans on the back of the warthog is attention to detail gone too far.

6. Not being able to teabag n00bs after the "game over" announcement.

This is pretty half-arsed so I may have missed a few.

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

...What are we fighting?

The main thing I'm hoping for is that the forge actually works, without the need for the little counter thing reach has.

right on! screw the rules!
OT:
anticipations
1. pistol is loud this time

2. forge world 3.0 (looking forward to more environments to edit in, we only got a rainforest terrain in Halo Reach. if we get a Beach terrain we can remake Last Resort!)

gripes
1. sword might suck like it did in Halo Reach

8. Multiplayer maps tailor made for multiplayer and not ripped from campaign like in CoD or Halo: Reach
I personally have a problem with this statement: I think most fans fail to recognize how those were built to be integrated in both Single and Multi-player experiences. The maps in Halo Reach were made to meet a certain criteria in how the game is expected to be played out (engaging in enemies in both cases redeem similiar qualities and efforts in the overall experience in Reach). In fact, these areas have the opposite effect when you look at them at a single player aspect; the game is modeled to be played in a similar fashion as multiplayer, in fact that's how the campaign essentially feels, multiplayer with AI's (with enemies attributes and scripts obviously being the pivotal point between the two).

GRIPES: Everything you listed had little to nothing to do with actual gameplay... but instead focused entirely how the game looks (which I'm on the fence myself about it). I think the biggest things to consider -as far as changes going into Halo 4- is how sprint as a default movement trait now, but how that will essentially affect the environment and gameplay is yet to be fully understood (let alone appreciated). The motives behind the changes can be debatable and interpreted in different ways... depending if these changes will cator and meet the expectations and preferences that long time Halo fans (which contains the very first online fanbase for a console FPS) has helped maintain and innovate through years of following the franchise.

6. Not being able to teabag n00bs after the "game over" announcement.
I will too be dissapoint.

Having Master chief back will be awesome.

I am worried gameplay will degrade to CoD levels

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

Good to see 343 learned from reach. If Reach had been a better game I don't think Halo 4 would look so good. Halo is still in good hands.
